John Scarffe, Black Hawk. The Black Hawk City Council approved a resolution awarding the bid for the 2-inch mill and overlay of lower Miners’ Mesa Road to PLM Asphalt & Concrete, Inc., during its regular meeting on Wednesday, May 10, at 3 p.m. The staff recommended approval.

Representatives from three companies submitted bids. The agreement between the City of Black Hawk and PLM Asphalt and Concrete, Inc., in the amount not to exceed $65,460, will cover the milling and overlaying lower Miners Mesa Road. Due to badly degraded asphalt conditions, it is proposed to complete a two-inch mill and overlay of lower Miners’ Mesa Road, including the deck of the Bobtail Bridge.

The Board also approved the disposal of out-of-date, non- usable AED (Automated External Defibrillator) Trainers. The Board will allow the fire department to donate four AED Trainers to the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office.

The City of Black Hawk has historically taken out-of-service items that can still be utilized by others and donated them. These AED trainers do not meet the standard that current AEDs are programmed to and are not capable of being reprogrammed.

The Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office utilizes AEDs which are programmed the same as these trainers. Trainers can immediately put them to use to train law enforcement on AEDs, which are being placed in their patrol vehicles.

The Aldermen approved the service agreement for vehicle towing services between the City of Black Hawk and D & J Towing and Recovery. D & J Towing was recently sold to Brady Lovingier; due to the change in ownership of the company a new service agreement was required.

The next meeting of the Black Hawk City Council will be at 3 p.m. on June 24 at 211 Church Street.
